Chapter 326 The Venerable Qianwu? The Lord of Qianwu!
Chapter 326 The Venerable Qianwu? The Lord of Qianwu!
The Lord of the Wasteland howled, his aura weakened, and even his spirit and will were completely broken.
Upon closer examination, he discovered that all his understanding of the laws and secret techniques had been completely stripped away, and he couldn't even remember many of his power-generating skills.
He really was turned into a stray dog!
How could the ruler of the Mercenary Alliance, the supreme master of the universe, withstand such a blow?
"Lord of Qingyang, how can you act in this way?"
The founder of the giant axe sighed heavily, his tone full of helplessness.
He stared at the howling stray dog in Xu Qing's palm, his heart filled with shock.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qing was not only incredibly powerful, but also so decisive and ruthless in his actions. He stripped the Lord of the Wasteland of his power and turned him into a wild dog without leaving any room for maneuver.
Could it be that he really possesses more than one supreme treasure?
Otherwise, how could he so easily suppress a fifth-order universe master?
"I was already planning to use a supreme treasure to mediate and resolve this dispute for you, but you didn't need to do that at all."
The voice of the founder of the giant axe carried a hint of heaviness.
"Although Huang Jian acts stubbornly, his true intentions are ultimately for the sake of his people, and he has no malicious intent. You and I are both human, why must we go to such lengths?"
"Humans?" Xu Qing chuckled upon hearing this.
He has no sense of belonging to the alien race. It would be best if he could just return Earth to Earth. If he can't, he wouldn't mind slapping him to death as an alien invader.
In the Swallowed Star universe, the human race is simply a species that can be judged by its own judgment; even elves and orcs are human.
The Lord of the Wasteland has a human form, is covered in scales, and has three sharp spikes on its head, making it look like a giant beast. What is its relationship with Earthlings?
On Earth, racial discrimination exists even among people of different skin and hair colors, and several cities in a province can hurl insults at each other. How much more so for the human race that is scattered across the stars and has no blood ties with each other?
He's not the kind of person who forgets his roots once he leaves Earth, who thinks of himself as a member of the Virtual Universe Company or the Cosmic Human Race once he leaves Earth, and who doesn't care about Earth at all. He probably spends less than 0.00-01% of his entire life on Earth.
He would not tolerate outsiders treating his homeland as a clan asset that could be calculated at will.
That's Xu Qing's hometown. You say my hometown is your ethnic property, then what do you consider Xu Qing to be? As part of the common prosperity?
Earth is his homeland.
The transfer of partial ownership of Earth to Virtual Universe Company was merely a stopgap measure when the company lacked sufficient strength.
Now that he has enough power to reclaim his hometown, there are still people who jump out and bark wildly, coveting it endlessly.
Did you really think he was easy to talk to?
Faced with this kind of behavior that treats his hometown as so-called clan property, and who clearly has the same status but is still unreasonable and unforgiving, if he could still tolerate it, he would truly be unworthy of being a son.
The founder of the giant axe frowned when he saw Xu Qing's indifferent expression and silence.
"A fourth-tier universe lord is a rare talent, one that our human race has only produced a handful of in countless ages. They represent the very foundation of our race, and we cannot afford to lose them!"
"Lord of Qingyang, please return his power. Do not let your momentary anger shake the foundation of my human race." The Giant Axe Founder was truly helpless, as a true god, he was being so humble.
"Yes, Xu Qing." The Chaos City Lord quickly echoed, trying to mediate, "All the universe lords present here originated from the ancestral inheritance. Although there are occasional conflicts in the allocation of resources, we are ultimately one family."
No one knows the weight of the Lord of the Universe better than they do.
Since the birth of humanity, over two hundred trillion years have passed. Countless geniuses have emerged in every ten or twenty epochs, such as Kodi and the Fire Eroder. They have seen at least one hundred million, if not a billion, geniuses.
Even with the guidance of a heaven-defying being like the Primordial Ancestor, the human race has only produced eighteen Universe Lords to date, while the mechanical race and the demon race each have fewer than ten.
When Kodi fell, the Lord of Chaos City was saddened and moved, but if he really had to choose, even if he had to sacrifice 100,000 or even 1 million Kodi to exchange for a Universe Lord, he would not hesitate for a moment and would definitely choose the Universe Lord.
"Even the founder of the Giant Axe is pleading like this, which is already a great show of respect. Why are you pressing him so hard?"
"Yes, Lord of Qingyang, why bother?"
The two cosmic lords, Lord Qingdong and Lord Penggong, who had previously watched coldly from the sidelines, also spoke up to dissuade them.
Xu Qing glanced at the two of them.
Just now, for their own benefit, they chose to remain silent about their hometown.
Now, fearing that the race might lose a cosmic ruler and harm its own interests, it hastily stepped in to mediate.
What do these so-called cosmic lords think of themselves?
A nonchalant smile played on his lips: "What's so difficult about that?"
Upon hearing this, the founder of the giant axe, the Lord of Chaos City, and others immediately showed joy.
Has Xu Qing finally come to his senses? It seems he still values the greater good of his clan and is willing to return the power of the Lord of the Wasteland, perhaps just to teach the Lord of the Wasteland a lesson.
Upon hearing this, the stray dog in Xu Qing's palm stopped howling, a glimmer of hope flashing in its eyes as it looked expectantly at Xu Qing.
Facing Xu Qing, who held the power of life and death over him, he dared not say anything at this moment.
But the next second, everyone saw Xu Qing open the virtual universe terminal and connect to the communication of the Qianwu Universe King.
"Gan Wu, come to the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company immediately."
What is Xu Qing doing?
The founders of the giant axe and others couldn't understand it at all.
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was merely a high-level cosmic venerable, not even a cosmic overlord. He dared not disobey Xu Qing, who had already advanced to the position of cosmic lord.
Half a minute later, a disheveled but respectful figure appeared at the temple entrance; it was none other than the ruler of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, he felt the gazes of all the lords of the universe, as well as the oppressive aura emanating from Xu Qing that made his soul tremble. He quickly bowed and said, "Qian Wu greets Lord Qingyang and all the lords of the universe."
Facing so many cosmic lords, he lowered his head, not daring to breathe, completely unaware of Xu Qing's purpose in suddenly summoning him.
The founder of the giant axe, the Lord of Chaos City, and others looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubt.
"Naturally, it's giving you an opportunity!" Just as everyone was puzzled, Xu Qing laughed heartily.
He suddenly raised his hand, and a flash of light appeared in his palm. A torrent of immense divine power and boundless profound knowledge surged toward the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.
"This is----"
Qianwu's pupils shrank suddenly, his face blank. Before he could react, the immense power surged into his body like a flood bursting its banks.
boom!!!
A rumbling tremor suddenly resounded throughout this space and time.
"What is this?!" Upon hearing the thunderous roar, the creator of the giant axe widened his eyes.
At the same time, countless rays of light from the laws suddenly appeared above the temple, black and white vortexes spun wildly, and a vast ocean of divine power poured down, all of it flowing into the Qianwu's body.
"How is this possible?! A black and white vortex, this, this is a sight that only appears when a Lord of the Universe ascends to power." The Lord of Chaos City, Lord Peng Gong, and others gaped, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They saw the level of the Qianwu's divine body increase at a visible speed. Not only his divine power level, but even his genetic level was undergoing a crazy transformation and evolution under the power given by Xu Qing.
Ten times, a hundred, and even ten thousand!
Originally just a high-level universe lord, his understanding of the laws skyrocketed, and the divine power within him became so immense that it could crush ordinary universe lords.
In just a few breaths, a power belonging to a top-tier universe master swept across the entire area, comparable to that of the former Desolate Mirror Master!
"A universe master with ten thousand times the genetic power?!" The Chaos City Lord gasped, his voice trembling.
He had lived for billions of years and had never seen anything so incredible.
An existence that is not even a cosmic overlord was instantly pushed to the level of a cosmic master with ten thousand times the genetic power!
This is defying the rules of the universe!
"Lord of Qingyang, could it be that you gave all the power of the Lord of Desolation to Qianwu?!" The founder of the giant axe also had his pupils shrink, staring intently at the aura on Qianwu's body, his heart filled with shock and horror.
Xu Qing can arbitrarily strip away and transfer other people's power, and even forcibly increase other people's gene multiplier and realm?
Such methods are even more terrifying than those of a true god who possesses ten supreme treasures!
Xu Qing turned to look at the giant axe founder and the others, whose faces were filled with shock, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Not bad, we're missing a universe lord, so I'll just fill the gap, won't I?"
A single sentence, spoken lightly, resonated like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.
Yes, just fix it.
But when Xu Qing said those words, they carried a suffocatingly domineering air.
This made everyone present feel even more terrified.
The Lord of the Universe is an unparalleled being that a race takes countless years to create.
He is an unparalleled figure who is not even one among the countless weak ethnic groups, and ordinary ethnic groups. In his eyes, he is like a commodity that can be replaced and replenished at will.
Chaos City Lord opened his mouth, only to find that he couldn't utter a single word.
No wonder Xu Qing dared to be so arrogant.
Xu Qing's strength and confidence far exceeded their expectations.
To strip a fourth-order universe master of their power and then bestow it upon another, forcibly creating a universe master, is a feat that even a true god could not accomplish.
"This—this is impossible! I must be dreaming!" The stray dog in Xu Qing's palm was completely dumbfounded, its eyes filled with desperate madness.
"Yes, I must have been mentally attacked, hahaha, Xu Qing, you can't fool me, the founder of the Giant Axe will definitely save me, he definitely will!"
The stray dog suddenly burst into laughter.
Upon witnessing this scene, all the Lords of the Universe felt a chill run down their spines.
The supreme ruler of the universe, who led the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, had his power so easily taken away and given to an ant far inferior to himself, who could never repay his debts in his lifetime. This enormous disparity drove the Lord of Desolation to the brink of madness.
"This—this is the law of spacetime?! And this power—"
Qianwu was completely stunned by the surging power within him and his profound understanding of the laws of the universe.
He didn't realize what was happening until he heard the conversation.
He had actually become the master of the universe!
He suddenly looked up at Xu Qing, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy and awe, and knelt down with a thud: "Thank you so much for your grace, Lord Qingyang! Qianwu is willing to go through fire and water for you!"
Seeing Qianwu, who had become a top-tier universe master, kneeling before Xu Qing, the faces of the other universe masters were extremely ugly, but no one dared to utter a single word of "no".
Compared to the already completely crippled Lord of Desolation, they didn't need to offend the unfathomable Xu Qing.
"Enough, enough." The founder of the giant axe shook his head, ultimately unable to bear it. "Things have come to this, I will say no more. I only ask that you hand over the Desolate Mirror to me, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope."
"Haha, it's just a dog." Xu Qing casually tossed the mad dog in his palm to the Giant Axe Founder. "Do whatever you want with it, Giant Axe Founder."
The Giant Axe Founder took the wild dog and stored it in his world ring, then changed the subject: "Lord of Qingyang, I heard that you refined all of the Zerg's thousands of top-tier cosmic overlord-level warriors into pills? Is that true?"
"It's not exactly a secret," Xu Qing frankly admitted. "Before coming here, my teacher Hu Yanbo and his servants had all taken pills and advanced to become top-tier universe overlords."
boom!
These words were like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar in the temple!
"What?! Over a thousand top-tier cosmic overlords were refined into a pill?"
"Huyanbo? Who's that?"
"It seems to be a wild deity who perished on Earth and barely managed to attain a noble title?"
"A person who has been granted the title of Immortal Lord, even his servants have become top-tier cosmic overlords?! This—"
The lords of the universe were greatly alarmed.
The top-tier cosmic overlords are almost comparable to the weakest cosmic lords. There are only three of them in the entire human race. They can be said to be hundreds of millions of times more precious than the likes of Kodi. They can almost be called a hundred million Kodi.
Xu Qing essentially created a billion-dollar company with ease.
To be able to elevate even a servant who has been granted the title of Marquis to this level is simply defying the heavens!
"Lord of Chaos City, why didn't you inform us?" Lord Peng frowned as he looked at the Lord of Chaos City, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.
The Lord of Chaos City looked embarrassed and was speechless for a moment.
"Huang Jian has truly had a terrible stroke of bad luck this time, daring to offend such an existence." The Lord of Qingdong shook his head and sighed, his eyes filled with apprehension.
Although it was hard to believe, everyone felt it made sense when they thought about how Xu Qing stripped away the power of the Desolate Mirror and bestowed it upon the Qianwu.
The mere thought of Xu Qing soon having over a thousand more top-tier cosmic overlords under his command caused the Chaos City Lord and the Giant Axe Founder immense headaches.
The Earth lineage is likely to leap to become the largest human power!
No wonder the mechanical race's father god went to great lengths to nip Xu Qing in the bud.
"Xu Qing, could you share some of your remaining pills with us so we can use them to train the next generation?" The founder of the Giant Axe asked earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing suddenly laughed: "No way."
"How can such resources be given away so easily? You reap what you sow; this is a universal truth. Didn't none of you refute what the Lord of Desolation just said?"
Although Xu Qing said this with a smile, his words were like a slap in the face to everyone.
The Lord of the Wasteland's words had now become a boomerang.
An equivalent? Resources that can elevate someone to the pinnacle of cosmic dominance are something even a true god couldn't provide!
The lords of the universes looked embarrassed, and for a moment no one dared to speak.
Even the founder of Giant Axe didn't know how to explain it.
"However," Xu Qing changed the subject, a crystal-clear pill appearing in his palm, which he handed to the Lord of Chaos City, "I want to buy Earth, so I'll use this pill as payment."
The Lord of Chaos City accepted the pill, sensing the terrifying energy it contained, and gave a wry smile: "So be it."
Thus, the Giant Axe Conference, which was originally intended to congratulate Xu Qing on his advancement to the Lord of the Universe, ended in a muddled and confused manner.
